“I’m going to church two times in one night and neither of them are for Jesus.”

—Marissa talking about the two christmas eve masses she would be attending

A conversation between Marissa and Nathan:

Marissa: “Are you guys celebrating Christmas this year?”
 
Nathan: “Yes, but not in the traditional way, sitting around the Christmas tree and shit.”
 
Marissa: “So how will you celebrate Christmas the non-shit way?”
 
Nathan: “I’ll get some eggnog and share it with my wife—”
 
Marissa, interrupting. “Who is lactose intolerant.”
 
Nathan, ignoring interruption. “And I will sing* Christmas songs and Jamie will tell me to shut up.”
 

*singing is not the term I would use for what happens when nathan attempts to sing. he is a good guitarist, yes, but he can’t sing.
